Falafelkid has reported that Amazon Germany is going to have first party wiimotes in the colours of: “pearl pink”, “silver”, and “blue” as well as matching blue nunchucks on June 29th. This is certainly good news for North America, as we will almost positively be getting colourful wiimotes as well. This could also open the door for Wiis of different colours too. Nintendo’s always been a fan of pretty-coloured systems.
The update is out! Log-in to Xbox Live with your 360 to start the automatic updating and feature-addingness of the May ’07 update! That’s what I’m going to do right now.
In a recent Forbes report, Namco Bandai outlined the extent of their support for the big three video game systems on the market. Within the next fiscal year, Namco Bandai plans to release 23 PS3 games, 24 Xbox 360 games, and 37 Wii games. (Some of these will probably end up being VC titles) We now know who’s the winner in Namco Bandai’s mind. 😉
The Soul Calibur adventure game that was previously reported has now been confirmed in the lastest issue of the Japanese magazine: Famitsu. The game will be called Soul Calibur Legends and not much else is known about that. The news we’re all waiting to hear is whether Link will be making a triumphant return in the game or not. I might not get it if Link’s not in it…
UPDATE: Check out new artwork for the game here
Here’s a quote from EA Senior Producer Mike Glosecki:
“Although trickier, a Wii version with motion controls obviously brings up a lot more exciting possibilities for the RTS legend – and it looks like EA is pondering as well. There isn?t as much under the hood, so it (C&C3) obviously won?t look as good. But as far as control goes, I don?t see why it can?t be done.”
Sounds good to me! I’ve always wanted to use the wiimote controls for an RTS game, and C&C has always been my favourite.
The above scan from the latest Shonen Jump confirms the previous rumour that FFIV was in for the same 3D treatment on the DS that FFIII received. As you can see, the game’s not looking bad at all. In addition to updated graphics, the game will also feature some indeterminate extras.
